| | What zanylady likes about this machine
I have explored all the stitches and the machine does what it says it will do. It sews through chiffon and denim with ease and no strain. I sewed 6 layers of denim as an experiment and it worked perfectly. Haven't made any buttonholes yet.
The cover is nice and has a place for the manual so that it won't get lost. The manual is easy to read and understand. The free arm feature is nice too. According to the manual I can do freehand embroidery , might try it some day but I wanted a machine that sews, zigzags and performs as it should. It came with a zipper foot that works well and I have sewed elastic on the back of denim cargo pants. The machine zipped right through it.
Made a quilt out of old denim jeans and a denim backing again zipped right through it. Since it's a picnic quilt got creative and added pockets with no problem.
Will post an update when I try buttonholes. What zanylady does not like about this machine

| Reader Comments | | Beth Pierce | 6/29/09 | Would love to see a picture of this machine; maybe a link to a website? Didn't know Shark made sewing machines. | | * * * | | Mufffet | 6/29/09 | I find Euro-Pro a tough machine. Very tough. I hope your does the job for you for a long long time! And they seem to come with lots of presser feet and a good manual. | | * * * | | Mufffet | 6/29/09 | Here is a link to this machine at TARGET:

The free arm is helpful too. | | * * * |
